I don't care as well!
Afterall, I can smell a rat on this CME issue, only the smell is

quite not identifiable!
Some people want to control the Virus business ;)
The only reason that I care is that when there is hew and cry over a
massively destructive virus, I can point at my virus statistics and
say
"oh, our AV calls CME-24 'worm.vb9' - we've been blocking it for
weeks."
Then I don't have to worry about what name another group might give
it,
and the PHB's will leave me alone for a little while longer.
has anyone ever noticed how much EXTRA work we sysadmins do for that
reason alone? There's a lot of cycles spent, collectively, to prove
to management what we already know.
